Of course, if @noyesno doesn't read it than it wasteful anyway.
- nicbou 4y agoYes, but this one is completely avoidable with zero effort. It's a personal decision to say "no, I need my articles written on dead trees and delivered to my doorstep".
- blitzar 4y agoThat dead tree is carbon sequestered from the atmosphere. Do you think the flashing lights of your monitor come at zero cost?
- nicbou 4y agoThe whole printing and delivery process, however, is not.
- justsomehnguy 4y agoIf it makes the person to read them - why not? Not everyone and everything are enjoyable on the screens, even if it's e-ink one. All shops near me still has the 'dead trees' stand with a glossy maculature - and while people occasionally buy them - most of them goes to the landfill anyway. THAT is wasteful.
